Welcome to the REAL new millennium.........

WHAT? : X will explore uncharted territory. X is a bold new step for Dark Duck Records.

THEME: Fat, glitchy, crunchy textures, drone, minimal ambiences, dub, down-tempo d'n'b, and much more.

WHO?: X is not 1 artist and X is not a various artists compilation. X is a new monthly series from Dark Duck Records featuring an amorphous blob of sound sourced and blended from some of the best (ok, the strangest) independent musicians working today. Each month will feature a variety of different artists possibly including, but not limited to, Stephen Philips, Tom Purdue, Ben Summers, Alex Cornhill, Geoff Varosky, Michael Bentley, Dino Pacifici, Will Green, and a few others that wish to remain anonymous. They're people you like but don't ask us to reveal who they are because we are sworn to secrecy.

WHY?: Why not?

MP3 samples right here, bookmark this site and check back often. We will be putting up samples from the CDs and some exclusive unreleased X tracks all year. Remember to download the previously unreleased tracks as soon as possible because they will only be up for 2 months and then they are deleted without notice.
